Considered one of the most innovative contemporary philosophers, Sallis is the Frederick J. Adelmann, S.J. Professor of Philosophy at Boston College. In 1980, he co-founded the Phenomenology Center with Dr. Amedeo Giorgi as an expression of the phenomenological orientation of Duquesne’s philosophy and psychology departments.
